Man left in critical condition after unprovoked attack in Shepherd's Bush

A VIOLENT and unprovoked attack in Shepherd's Bush left a 52-year-old man in a critical condition.

The man was attacked following an altercation on a footpath outside the Central line Tube station in Uxbridge Road shortly before midnight on Friday, September 23.

He was left with serious injuries and taken to a west London hospital, where he remains in a serious condition.

Police, who have yet to make an arrest, are appealing for witnesses. They want to trace a black man witnessed running from the scene, who was wearing a distinctive yellow polo T-shirt with black hoops and a baseball cap.

Detective Constable Mark Breeze, from the Violent Crime Unit, said: "This is a very serious incident in a busy area and I would appeal for anyone who knows anything about the assault to come forward."
